I've never poached an egg before. That's right... despite my culinary prowess, I have never... poached... an egg. But not for lack of faith. I knew I could do it. I just had to find the perfect recipe as I'm not one for poached eggs for an everyday breakfast. Joe's birthday seemed the perfect opportunity. I had torn this recipe out of one of my foodie magazines and had been waiting for the perfect time to try it out. He was thrilled and completely satisfied of course... he's always been my biggest fan.

Place potatoes and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until tender; drain. In a large skillet, saute pepper and onion in oil until onion is tender. Add the potatoes, bacon, salt and pepper; saute 8-10 minutes longer or until potatoes are lightly browned.

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for one minute or until thickened. Stir in cheese and chilies; cook and stir until cheese is melted.

Meanwhile, place 2-3 inches of water in a large skillet with high sides; add vinegar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently. Break cold eggs, one at a time, into a custard cup or saucer; holding the cup close to the surface of the water, slip each egg into water. Cook uncovered until the whites are completely set and the yolks are still soft, about 4-5 minutes. Divide potato mixture among 4 plates. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of the water. Place on potato mixture. Top with sauce and tomatoes or pico de gallo.

Welcome

I've spent the last several years as a wife and then also a mother, discovering my passion for all things kitchen related (cooking, baking, barbecuing, you name it.) So when I was asked by several of my friends (and family) to share my discoveries I created this blog. Nothing fancy. Just me. Sharing recipes and suggestions that I think you might like. And I want to hear from you too. Please comment as much as possible. It lets me know at least someone is reading!
